Install the iMario Agent Skill

Add the companion research instructions to an external agent after connecting MCP.

What you are installing

The imario skill teaches an external agent to choose an audience, price a study and ask before spending, run it, and report what people said with counts and quotes. It requires the iMario MCP connection. It is different from Agent Skills assigned to individuals.

The skill is published at github.com/laugherxiao/imario-skills. It follows the open Agent Skills format: SKILL.md holds the workflow and the rules that always apply, and reference/ holds the details the agent reads only when a task needs them.

Connect MCP first and check that it lists your audiences. The skill cannot supply the server.

Install in Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add laugherxiao/imario-skills
/plugin install imario@imario

To install without the marketplace, copy the repository's skills/imario folder to ~/.claude/skills/. The resulting path must be ~/.claude/skills/imario/SKILL.md.

Install in Codex

Copy the repository's skills/imario folder to ~/.agents/skills/, then restart Codex.

Install in Claude (claude.ai and the desktop app)

Download the repository and zip the skills/imario folder.
Open Customize > Skills, select +, then Create skill > Upload a skill, and choose the zip.

Code execution has to be on: Settings > Capabilities on Free, Pro and Max, Organization settings > Skills on Team and Enterprise.

Other agents

Put the skills/imario folder wherever the agent reads Agent Skills.

Skill recognized by the client

Install the skill alongside MCP

Verify the skill and connection separately

Ask: “Use the iMario skill to list audiences and explain how you would estimate one open question. Do not submit research.”

A useful check has three parts: the client recognizes the skill, MCP returns the real audience list, and the agent explains the estimate before spending. Fluent prose alone does not prove a tool call occurred.

When you later authorize a study, expect the agent to keep your chosen audience, estimate the actual scope, flag incomplete results and give the study's web_url. The skill does not lift the workspace's daily limit or anyone's permissions.

Update or remove

In Claude Code, /plugin marketplace update imario fetches the latest version, and /plugin uninstall imario@imario removes it. A copied folder is updated by replacing it and removed by deleting it. In Claude, turn the skill off or delete it in Customize > Skills.

Removing the skill leaves MCP connected. To end an agent's access to the workspace, disconnect the app or regenerate the API key in Settings > MCP & API.
